    3 As best I can tell, the issue reported in this ticket only occurs with Python 2.5. There's no documented support for `libedit` on [https://docs.python.org/release/2.5/lib/module-readline.html Python 2.5], but it's documented for [https://docs.python.org/release/2.6.9/library/readline.html Python 2.6] and [https://docs.python.org/2/library/readline.html Python 2.7].

     24If there are any issue encountered on OSX with Python 2.7, please open a new ticket. We can at least document what is needed to get command completion, whether that be installing readline, pypi:pyreadline or pypi:gnureadline.
